Bellerose, a favourite label for boys!
Shopping for boys is definitely more challenging than shopping for girls, or at least I find it slightly less exciting. For one, there is less variety in the types of clothing for boys (no adorable rompers or pretty dresses), but I also find it trickier to find simple, timeless pieces without the stereotypical 'boyish' texts and colours. For my ...

Pim, in ABC123me
When we were visiting Maud Fontein in her studio a few weeks ago, she took a few photos of Pim and I just love the way they turned out. They really show Pim the way he is -- sweet, funny, and so at ease with himself. Also, I see a glimpse of a bigger Pim in there ...

Brindille and Twig
Who says there are no cool clothes for boys around? I know, typically boys don't wear dresses and skirts (my son Pim being the exception to the rule -- on occasions he loves to dress up as a full-on princess), which does limit the choices quite a bit, but there ARE good choices around. Like these ...

Bobinette
Yesterday my husband, daughter and son were sitting on the sofa together and I realized checks must be in high fashion: they were all three wearing a gingham shirt!! Today I'm wearing mine -- fashionably late, I suppose... My husband and I got our shirts from Fenwick in London. My daughter's shirt came from H&M (I ...
